Two more on winter tyres

For the grand total of £291 for 6 new tyres, and 2 nearly new tyres, fitted.
That's six Firestones for £201
9 wheels and trims, with nuts of ebay for £50
5 with duff tyres, 4 with decent Michelins.
£40 fitting.
2 new Michelins on the rims already, so they're on the back of one, and the other two Michelins in the boot as a spare on each after swopping over.
And the old spare tyre in the garage as a very decent part worn for later.
That was after getting 4 Continental Premium Contact 2 on the summer alloys for £200 fitted this summer when Costco stopped stocking them, and sold them off at a fraction of the normal price.

I need more help as the title doesnt make much sense whereas the post it self doesnt make any sense.0 -
I'm thinking the OP has fitted 2 cars with winter tyres for the princely sum of £291.
Further explination is of how he's went about it.
I might be wrong tho.0 -

What about spare wheels? Are they winter tyred too?
[Winter tyred? Isn't that seasonal affective disorder or something like that?].0
